Albuquerque Motorcycle Accident Lawyer
Motorcycle accidents are far too common in Albuquerque, and they often lead to serious injuries, financial stress, and overwhelming legal complications. If you or a loved one has been involved in a motorcycle crash, you're not alone, and you don't have to go through the aftermath on your own. At The Husband & Wife Law Team, we’re here to help you understand your rights and navigate the road to recovery with confidence.
Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents in Albuquerque
Most motorcycle accidents are preventable and often stem from another driver’s carelessness. Some of the most common causes we see include:
Distracted driving
Speeding or reckless behavior
Failure to yield the right of way is especially dangerous at intersections
Hazardous road conditions, such as potholes, debris, or poor lighting
Inclement weather can worsen visibility and road safety
Mechanical issues, like brake or tire failures, are due to a lack of maintenance
Driving under the influence, which is both illegal and extremely dangerous
No matter the cause, motorcycle crashes can have devastating physical, emotional, and financial consequences. That’s why it’s crucial to understand your rights and act quickly.
What You Need to Know About New Mexico Motorcycle Accident Laws
New Mexico follows a fault-based system. That means the person responsible for causing the crash is also responsible for paying damages, medical bills, property damage, lost wages, and more.
The state also follows a comparative negligence rule, which means that if you're found partially at fault, your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault. Understanding how this law applies to your case is essential, and that’s where we come in.
Why You Need a Motorcycle Accident Lawyer in Albuquerque
Motorcycle accident cases are often more complex than they first appear. Insurance companies may try to place blame on the rider or minimize your compensation. That’s why having the right legal team on your side can make all the difference.
At The Husband & Wife Law Team, we have decades of experience handling motorcycle accident claims and fighting for injured riders. We gather evidence, handle the insurance negotiations, and if needed, go to court to secure what you're owed. Our mission is simple: to protect your rights, reduce your stress, and help you get the compensation you deserve.
What to Do After a Motorcycle Accident
Your actions immediately following a crash can play a big role in your recovery, both medically and legally. Here’s what we recommend:
Seek medical attention, even if you feel okay. Some injuries take time to show symptoms.
Report the accident to the police and request a copy of the official report.
Gather information from other drivers, witnesses, and take photos if it’s safe to do so.
Document everything, from medical visits to time missed from work.
Reach out to our team to explore your legal options as soon as possible.
